Stacey_G, Apr 2024

We enjoyed the entire tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly! We would highly recommend this tour!

Overview of Milan’s most well known sights

David_P, Apr 2024

Very informative tour. Very outgoing, added humor, and extremely knowledgeable. Excellent tour if you want a general overview of Milan Also recommended restaurants that only locals would know. Restaurants were excellent.

Grand Milan Walking Tour

Elise_M, Apr 2024

We had a fantastic experience exploring both known and hidden parts of Milan with guide extraordinaire Salvatore. Highly recommended for those who enjoy getting to know a city via walks.

It is was OK but not great!

HuseyinYavuz_Y, Mar 2024

Was OK tour. Tour info says drinks included but We were not offered drinks. Not sure why we did not have drinks.

Excellent

Tami_T, Mar 2024

Sara did a great job explaining the history of Milan. Tour was great for our family. She hit all the major spots in our list

A perfect introduction to the wonders of Milan

Katherine_U, Mar 2024

. Salvatore was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Milan, which made the tour engaging and informative. He also gave us great recommendations for places to eat and visit on our own time. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Salvatore as our guide and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Milan. Grazie mille, Salvatore!

Great tour of Milan with the perfect amount of history!

Nancy_S, Mar 2024

We learned so much about the history of Milan while walking through the town. A great way to get oriented to the city!

Wouldn’t recommend

Matthew_C, Feb 2024

Tour guide was really friendly but the “history” provided was far more modern day relating to recent political and economic events. Cut short due to boredom! Such a shame!

Highly recommended for anyone proposing short stay in the city

Craig_S, Nov 2023

Francesco was an excellent guide, very knowledgable and extremely interesting, his choice of gelateria was also great. A very worthwhile experience for anyone proposing a short stay in the city for a whistle stop guide to both history, navigation and sights, a few nice surprises thrown in too.

Great!

Sue_S, Oct 2023

I had less than 24 hours in Milan and wanted to see as much as I could. This tour provided this. I travelled all over the city, took public transport and received so much information, historical facts while having a great time. Salvatore was very informative and personable.

Loved my guide!

Sylwia_E, Oct 2023

Claudia was wonderful and I enjoyed my tour! Loved going to the university library! Make sure you connect with your guide before your tour. If you don’t get a response a day before try a different method. Claudia was not getting any my messages and we were standing in two different spots. I was at the location told by the app and she was using an address. If you don’t have a cellular plan it hard to connect with your guide.

Wonderful exploration of a beautiful city

William_G, Oct 2023

It was a wonderful tour. We started off in the modern part of town and made our way through all the different areas of this beautiful city. My guide Eliz was charming and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour as a great way to see Milan. I really enjoyed it.

Fantastic private tour!

Vicki_P, Oct 2023

Fabulous walking tour of Milan. Our guide, Sara, did such a lovely job and knew all the hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. She was so friendly and personable…it felt like we were visiting family! Sara also shared some really cool stories of her experiences working in the fashion industry with all the top Milan designers. How apropos considering where we were!! I was dying to hear more!

Enjoyable Tour

IsobelFealdman, Oct 2023

We had a wonderful day with Sara who is a fun and knowledgeable guide. This was a great tour, and so much better than being in a bus with a lot of people. This was a lot of fun, and we could see things on foot that wouldn’t be possible in a vehicle.

Great tour with Saara

Julie_K, Oct 2023

Sara was a wonderful guide—full of interesting facts about Milan. We learned so much and enjoyed our experience. Would highly recommend!

Perfecto!

lorraine_c, Oct 2023

Salvatore was an excellent guide. We saw so much in a short amount of time. We truly enjoyed this tour! Grazie!

Amazing evening tour with our wonderful guide, Salvatore

Dan_S, Sep 2023

My husband and I loved learning about the different parts of Milan through the eyes of our wonderful guide, Salvatore. He was extremely knowledgeable about the past, present and future of the city. He acquainted us with areas that we would not have visited otherwise.

Great Milano overview

Leland_K, Sep 2023

Had a fantastic tour with Salvatore. Salvatore’s tour takes you to 4 different areas of Milano which provide a great overview of the city’s past, present and future. He was laid back and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic

Molly_G, Aug 2023

Really interesting, informative tour about Milanese history, hidden spots and the areas we really wanted to explore

A fun educational walk through Milan!

Shawn_D, Aug 2023

Our family learned a ton from Sarra & had a really enjoyable time with her guidance through Milan…highly recommended!
